Method

Gross rent yield equals Census median gross rent (ACS table B25064) times 12, divided by Census median home value (ACS table B25077). The percent shown is that ratio rounded half up to the nearest 0.01 percentage point. State rows use the state estimate. County rows use the county estimate. A place is left out when either median is missing or not positive. Margins of error are the ACS margins published for each median. Rank is the unrounded ratio, then the place name.
